Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257: The Doctor Was Taken Away

He Ming instinctively glanced at Tang Jun, fearing that upon hearing the news of Yuan Yu’s incident, Tang Jun would go crazy.

But soon, He Ming realized he underestimated Tang Jun.

Tang Jun calmly inquired and found out that someone was injured in a nearby village and took Yuan Yu away. He was slightly relieved, since being taken away due to injury meant there was no immediate danger.

On the mountain.

"Xiao Jun, you’re too daring." He Ming felt uneasy walking in this desolate mountain forest.

"Xiao Jun, I promised Aunt Tang to bring you back safely." He Ming grabbed Tang Jun and said, "I’ll go rescue Doctor Yuan, you go back to the company, okay?"

He Ming was almost pleading with Tang Jun, but Tang Jun wouldn’t listen.

"Mingzi, if we run into people, you’re my brother, I’m your elder brother, and we’re here to gather herbs for medicinal purposes."

Tang Jun completely ignored He Ming’s words. He dared to climb the mountain to find people because he was fully prepared, especially since Yuan Yu was also taken by them; he had to go rescue her.

"Xiao Jun, I really should have pulled Feizi along too," He Ming said, looking miserable.

"Who’s there?" A sudden shout startled He Ming.

"We brothers are here to gather herbs in the mountains." Tang Jun replied directly in the local dialect. The moment he saw the newcomers, Tang Jun’s entire demeanor changed. With a medicine basket on his back, filled with freshly gathered herbs, beside being tall and handsome, he genuinely appeared to be a medicine gatherer, with dirt on his shoes and sweat on his face.

"Yeah, my brother and I are here to gather herbs." He Ming echoed, disguising himself as an ordinary man. He looked at the few men with fear, especially since they held knives in their hands.

He Ming raised his hands, appearing frightened.

"Xiao Ming, what’s wrong?" Tang Jun looked at He Ming in confusion, though he knew those men were holding guns, but since Tang Jun couldn’t see, he couldn’t just guess; he had to play dumb.

"Brother, they have knives in their hands."

He Ming whispered anxiously to Tang Jun, his nervously scared expression deserving an acting award.

"Knives?"

A flash of fear crossed Tang Jun’s face. Instinctively, he shielded He Ming behind him and said, "We live in Dafu County. We’re just here to gather herbs."

If you listened carefully, Tang Jun’s voice still carried a tremble. Though he was protecting his brother, his fear was evident in his body language.

"Are you two brothers?" The man scrutinized Tang Jun and He Ming. Knowing they were herb gatherers, he relaxed a bit but continued to question, "What’s your name?"

"You say it first."

The man pointed to He Ming.

"I’m Xiao Ming." He Ming internally criticized this name choice, but Tang Jun had already mentioned it earlier.

"What about him?" The man pointed to He Ming.

"My brother, Xiao Jun." He Ming cautiously answered, looking like he was afraid of getting into trouble.

"We’re really just here to gather herbs, mainly looking for wild ginseng," Tang Jun volunteered, "I’m blind. My brother and I heard there is wild ginseng on this mountain and wanted to buy some to try."

"Can wild ginseng cure blindness?"

The man sneered, his gaze lingering on Tang Jun’s eyes.

"You’re blind?" The man stepped forward.

"Brother Yan," another man restrained him, his gun unwaveringly aimed at Tang Jun and He Ming. In such exceptional times, who knew what these herb gatherers were really up to?

"What can a blind man do?" Ni Yan indifferently remarked, as he walked over, seemingly to verify whether Tang Jun was really blind.
